Hi there,
I have an CMYK eps-file here and when I import it in inkscape the colors are completely wrong (too colorfull, obviously not properly converted to rgb). When I change the CMYK values by hand, the colors are too dull.
I always thought that Inkscape would support CMYK? If so how about an option like in Illustrator, to set the actual color format and the one of the imported/exported file?

Sorry, I made a mistake, I entered the CMYK values in % but I have to change it in a value from 0 to 255 which renders the well known screaming RGB-colors. So anyway the colors are wrong...

1) In the CVS version now the CMYK sliders are scaled from 0-100 and not 0-255 anymore. (this is just for convenience, as internally it sets the RGB tripplet to 0-255 values)
2) At the moment Inkscape only knows sRGB color. We're working on getting it to support spot colors, ICC colors and more proper CMYK, but it's still a bit off.

Great!

CMYK is a must in professional graphics exchange, so imo this should have a high priority.

Nice!

Good. IMHO this should have high priority, because cmyk is standard in professional graphics exchange. And of course spot colors are essential for press and pre-press matters.
